Russia won't end Ukraine war until NATO "pulls out" of Baltics: Moscow
NATO bolstered its presence in Eastern Europe in the wake of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
The Ukraine war won't end until NATO withdraws troops from the Baltics, a top Russian official has warned.
Sergei Ryabkov, Russia's deputy foreign minister responsible for U.S. relations, nonproliferation and arms control, made the remarks in an interview with state-run news agency Tass.
Ryabkov's comments mark a shift in the Kremlin's position. He suggested that the conflict's roots lie not only in Ukraine itself but in NATO's eastward expansion. According to Ryabkov, the withdrawal of NATO forces from the Baltics would help bring an end to the war.
Oh fuck all the way outta here with that weak ass bullshit.
NATO should say they promise not to once Russia hands over its nuclear weapons. You know, like Ukraine did. Use the exact same paperwork that Ukraine signed in 1994 (NPT), with the word Ukraine taped over so it’s super obvious.
NATO can't pull out of the baltics. NATO isn't in the baltics. The baltics are NATO.
"Moscow should pull out of Russia" is a equally nonsensical statement.
Putin announcing his next invasion plans once he fails totally in Ukraine.
That was my escape plan from the US. Now what?
The Baltics?? I won’t even corner Western Europe due to Putin the Baltic states seem clearly not safe
Russia doesn’t get to dictate who other sovereign nations choose to associate with.
Lmfao they’re slipping. It’s really telling. Putin is losing control. His conventional forces must be in pretty dire straits.
Maybe losing another meaningful fraction of his nuclear forces will help him feel better.
"I won't quit until you let me win"
Shut the fuck up you fucking cunt nato can do what ever the fuck it wants now you got into a cock measuring contest and we all worked out you where wearing a strap on.
It’s okay. Ukraine will end it for you
Might as well demand demilitarization of Alaska, Hawaii, and California too, since Russia ran parts of those at one point as well. I mean, heck, why settle for just the Baltics?
I had no idea about Hawai'i and California. That's super interesting.
The only good answer to that:
"No, that won't happen. So I guess we're in this for another year. Here's the list of wapons that we will deliver to Ukraine, as well as spare parts and ammo that go with them. And here's the list of new sanctions we'll apply against Russia. See you next year, except if you have a change of heart".
But that's not going to happen...
Yep. He's setting a demand that he knows will NEVER be fulfilled so he can justify continuing. So he needs to feel the consequences
Nazi state is nazing.
More news at 11.
looks eerily familiar: recent tariff war drama with asking price sliding from 150% down to 25% . Ask for the moon in hopes to get a pebble. They are counting on US "folding" and US just might... except US is losing grip on Europe so end result will be unlikely what kremlin wants. They have stirred up this sh#t and they will have to live with it. It'll be an impossible sell for Baltics to leave NATO nor should they ever consider it.
Sorry I don't believe that would change a damn thing. A little late now...
Baltics need to take Kaliningrad, de-nazify it and deshitify it.
Please don't do that. Just work on sanctions sidesteps support Ukraine and wait for Putin's bad decisions to catch with him.
Really it’s just misdirection. You’re winning the Ukraine argument so start a new thread about something else. It just shows Russian doctrine at work, keep lying and keep people guessing about what might happen. Rattling nuclear weapons is another example.
Russia couldn’t pull out of a driveway without killing a million of its own people.
Hey Trump, this has been a real long 24 hours...
Or the war will continue until the Russian people deliver Putin's head on a spike. Assuming there's much left of the head after the 30th-floor defenstration.
